No, it is one of the standard tropes in the field.

Low voltage requires higher current to maintain a given output power.

Yeah but that's what the shutoffs are for.

Breakers are there to protect the in-wall wiring, not the connected equipment.

Yeah, 90vdc is an immediate nope from me: way too easy to suffer a painful death.

The list of departed google products could be put to the music of the names of the countries of the world.

No, 40-60% plan to travel, and the average amount of that travel is 3000. That is not at all the same thing as “40-60% of americans spend $3000 a year on travel”!

The data provided simply isn't sufficient to support the claim.

I went down a whole rabbit hole trying to find the numbers for this. If you Google there are lots of different numbers reported.

According to [1], the average American household spend $682 on airfares in 2024, plus an additional $199 on "Intercity bus, train, and ship fare"

There is spending data on "out of town" trips in [2] but it is extremely hard to work with.

If the average household spends $881 on these cost then it's probably at least reasonable to double that in total travel spend, so in round numbers at least $2000 is an estimate I'd believe.

It also makes $3000/year within reasonable bounds of possibility. But in terms of measuring how households are doing I'd note this is down from the 2023 numbers.

The normal issues with measuring average vs median apply etc.

I posted more than one article.

A $3000 trip is within reach of more Americans than you expected. I don't know why you're unhappy to find that out.

Neither article provided anything like the sort of figures needed to determine if the median is way out of line with the mean; just a whole pile of uncorrelated percentages. You have not provided anything that supports the claim. And I don't have a dog in this fight, just pushing back against bad statistics.

I remember being delighted finding maradns as an alternative to the “do everything” of dnsmasq way back when I set up a dns server, and more importantly, I haven't had to think about it since then.

That line of thinking is exactly why I ended up using maradns for my dns hosting way back.

10/10, no regrets, would recommend.

What do you use for DHCP and how do you have DHCP update local DNS entries? Or do you just rely on mDNS to work?

I use maradns to provide dns, not to resolve it. My vps does not require its own dhcp server.

I use dhcpd. It doesn't update local DNS entries. I have no need for that.

That's great; I prefer something different.

But it's not The Federal Authorities™, so they don't think it counts as conformity.

Until it’s ICE boots to be licked.
